Thing #9 -- Library Blogs

At this point I have quite a collection of feeds, including news, family, staff, and just interesting fun stuff. I found Feedster to be the easiest, next to Bloglines itself. It was a lot like the Bloglines add site. Topix is great for Grand Rapids info. Syndic8 is too big to browse, I found it confusing and not helpful. Technorati froze on me so I can't say much about that one. A lot of the comics I read online daily do not have RSS feeds, but its just as easy to bookmark them into a folder that I can open in tabs or just select, much like the RSS feeds list. I think with too large a feeds list, it becomes time consuming to read through them all, which is self-defeating, if the original idea was to short cut and save time... all the same, this has been a really educational exercise, and I feel like I've learned something practical and useful.
